Enphase makes microinverters for solar panels, plus home batteries and EV chargers, monitored through the Enphase app. Since 2023, local access to its gateway needs a token from Enphase’s cloud.

The good news: Enphase is a large, established solar company, and your panels keep producing power whatever happens to the app. Tools like Home Assistant can still read data locally with a token.
The bad news: Enphase made local access harder in 2023 by requiring a token from its cloud, which owners have to renew roughly once a year.
If you own Enphase
- If you use Home Assistant, note when your Enphase token expires.
- Check your system in the Enphase app now and then, since monitoring is how you spot problems.
